HE staining of colon sections removed on the last day revealed a decrease in immune cell infiltration in the NZ-IL1Ra administration group and a significant decrease in the total mucosal tissue area (Fig. 5e-g) . Production of IL-2 by EL4.NOB-1 cells stimulated with IL-1β was suppressed by increasing the concentration of rmIL-1Ra purified from NZ-IL1Ra supernatant, commercially available mIL-1Ra, or hIL-1Ra. These results indicate that rmIL-1Ra produced by gmLAB can play an effective role as an endogenous antagonist of IL-1. In conclusion, we successfully constructed gmLAB that hypersecrete bioactive mIL-1Ra. Oral administration of NZ-IL1Ra to acute colitis mice alleviated colitis symptoms and suppressed excessive immune reactions in the intestinal tract and MLNs. These results suggest that rmIL-1Ra reaches the colon via NZ-IL1Ra and inhibits IL-1 signaling. ./cache/cord-032753-icteg34y.txt ./txt/cord-032753-icteg34y.txt
